Densuano (Koforidua)
Densuano, also called ''Water Works'' is a small village in Koforidua in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Densuano is a village with not more than 2,000 inhabitants. The village boasts of the Densu dam which used to serve the Koforidua township and its neighboring environment. For several years, this dam supplied water to a filtering station at Ada for further treatment.
== Etymology ==
The word ''Densu'' is a name of a river which source from the Ashanti Region. It passes through Koforidua at this small village. The Densu river is believed to be a god which is worshiped by many. At times, in serious issues, people rely on this river for curses and other rituals. In certain instances, sacrifice is delivered to the river for a purpose, such for peace, rainfall, etc.
In Twi, the ending part of the word, ''Ano'' literally means ''mouth'', or ''beginning'' or ''start of''. The village therefore was called densuano simply meaning the beginning of Densu. However, the village does not source the Densu river. Other inhabitants leave across the dam, making the dam form a division. The name of the area of those living across the river is ''Densuagya'', meaning ''outskirt of Densu''.
